I’ve played guitar for 10 years, but feel like my progress is limited (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Love playing guitar and singing, mostly just chords, there’s a few “trickier” songs that I’ve worked through with finger-picking.

But I just feel like I can’t be bothered with exercises in scales and rhythm and think it holds me back.

Has anyone else just skipped the exercises and feel like they’re a competent guitarist? Any YouTubers I should check out?

In a way I think it’s made harder by being “intermediate” as it’s difficult to see where to go next.

Follow JustinGuitar he'll make sure you know all the basic through intermediate things you should know, all for free. He will then point you towards some intermediate stuff you can explore that requires payment but you can go to YouTube for that if you want. He will set you up with enough basic guitar theory to self-study what you need next.

Most importantly, figure out what your goals are and plan accordingly.
